DIY Vegan Hair Mask
Things to keep in mind before you get started:
- This mask can be messy, so wear an old shirt.
- A warm mask will work better than a cold one, but you don't want hot!
- Hair masks should be left on for a minimum of 15-30 minutes. The longer you leave it on, the more it can work
- Sometimes hair is too damaged to repair.
- Long, or thick hair may require a double batch.
- Avoid using heat styling (blow dryer or straightening irons) for at least 24 hours after application.
- Don't use shampoo or conditioner with SLS or SLSA after the mask, they will strip out all of the good work you just did. (Try one of our Sulfate-Free Shampoo Bars)

Hair Care - When to Cut the Ends
Knowing how often to cut your hair is a struggle many people face, myself included. When you're trying to grow it out, it's almost painful to cut it off. When it's curly you have to be careful how much you cut off at a time. Hair cuts can be expensive! There are such a long line of things to consider when deciding how often your hair needs to be cut or even just trimmed.
I'm putting together this blog for you to try to take a bit of the guess work out of the game!
